Driver almost ran us over crossing the road and did not even notice - at train station

My mum, my daughter and I were trying to cross the road to get to the train station. The entrance road is quite narrow

A taxi stopped and waved us cross. We were already halfway across the road when another car came speeding round the corner and nearly hit us. The driver did not even notice us.
He then got really impatient and basically forced the taxi to reverse so he could get through.

Attached a picture I made in paint.

when you say came speeding around the corner, do you actually mean turned into the road at a typical speed which seemed fast because you were walking? If you cross a road so close to a junction you run the risk of a car turning in and not seeing you until they have.
